As soon as Lü Fan died, the army in the city completely lost its command, and either knelt on the ground and asked for surrender, or fell under the butcher's knife, unable to resist at all, and unable to escape.

Although the battle of Shanyin City lasted longer, it was still won in one day, and it can be seen that the strength of Li Jun is obviously several grades higher than that of Sun Jun.

The battle situation in Yangzhou was lost in Shanyin City, and the result was obvious, a total of six counties, half of the Li army was taken, and the Sun army had most of the recruits, unless there was a manpower cable raging.

Jiangxia Zhou Yu, when the person sent by Sun Quan to urgently ask for help arrived, he immediately summoned everyone to discuss.

Sun Ce has been in a coma since he was attacked last time, and all the big and small things in the army were falsely ordered by Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce is the soul of the army, if the news of being unconscious comes out, I am afraid that the army's heart will be severely damaged.

But now that the situation in Yangzhou has changed abruptly, at this time, some decisions are not something that Zhou Yu can decide, such as leading the army to come back to help.

As long as Jiangxia's soldiers and horses move, Wei Yan's army will definitely attack, and when the time comes, it will be unfavorable to return to the army, and it will fall into a two-front battle, and if it is not done, there will be nowhere to return.

Zhou Yu held his temples and said slowly: "Yangzhou is the foundation of our army, and there is no room for mistakes, but Wei Yan will never stop at Jiangxia, and the governor of Bendu doesn't know how to choose." ”

What Zhou Yu has always shown is to give people incomparable confidence, and this side is rare to see.

Cheng Pu opened his mouth and said: "Governor Dadu, it hasn't reached this level yet, Li Jun only took advantage of it by surprise, or he will lead an army back to help first." ”

Seeing that Cheng Pu and the others had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, Zhou Yu shook his head and asked, "Then with General Cheng's intentions, how many soldiers and horses do you need to bring with you?" ”

Jiangxia, at this time, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not a big problem to transfer 20,000 or 30,000, but 20,000 or 30,000, can you stop the defeat of Yangzhou?

Zhou Yu didn't know what others thought, but he knew in his heart that twenty or thirty thousand was just to send some military exploits to Li Jun, and it didn't play a role at all.

Cheng Pu thought for a while and said: "It doesn't take much, the general has taken away 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it should be able to stop the offensive of the Li army." ”

"Should?" Zhou Yu smiled helplessly and said: "Although 20,000 soldiers and horses are not much, the governor of Pontus can let you give it a try, but if Yangzhou is lost in a few places, no one can bear the consequences." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Pu fell silent, he was not sure of victory, but he saw that Zhou Yu was embarrassed, so he took the initiative to ask for help, and at this time, after Zhou Yu a little, he didn't dare to reply casually.

Dead, completely dead.

Li Huiyi has now become a real overlord, and if he wants to survive under his cracks, it is impossible at all, either be destroyed or surrender.

After a long time, Zhou Yu said slowly: "If you ask Cao Cao for help, do you think he will make a move?" ”

Cao Cao left 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and if he could send troops to involve Wei Yan, there was really a glimmer of hope.

Huang Gai agreed: "This can be tried, but it takes a lot of time to come and go, and I am afraid that Yangzhou will be completely lost by then." ”

Seeing that everyone had hope for Cao Cao's dispatch of troops, Zhou Yu's face recovered better, but his heart did not change at all.

asked for help from Cao Cao, Zhou Yu didn't report much hope at all, but just comforted everyone, because Cao Cao wanted to make a move, and he had already sent people to send troops.

It is impossible for Cao Cao not to understand, but under the large-scale attack of the Li army, he did not make any moves, either because of his own lack of troops, or because he reached some ulterior agreement with Li Huiyi.

The latter, Zhou Yu is more biased, because Cao Cao, even if he does not have troops, will definitely behave like this, and will never be like this, but Sun Jun needs a verbal ally to help at this time.

"Is this this, only General Lao Huang and General Cheng can lead 80,000 troops back to Yangzhou to support."

Eighty thousand?

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai glanced at each other, this had already drained most of Jiang Xia's troops, in case Wei Yan attacked desperately, he was only afraid of more evil and less auspicious.

However, there are too few soldiers and horses, and Cheng and Huang are not sure, in their hearts, Yangzhou's status is naturally higher than Jiangxia.

"Yes."

"Yes."

The two were ordered to leave, Zhou Yu thought for a while, and ordered the remaining army to spread more flags, wanting to confuse Wei Yan, and then quietly arranged a large number of flammable materials in some important places in the city to make a double plan.

Outside Jiangxia, a large number of barren mountains have been cultivated into farmland, although they cannot be planted at this time, but there are still busy things such as diverting water into canals.

On the edge of the farmland, Wei Yan was wearing a robe, with a slight bead of sweat on his face, and was sitting and resting.

Fortunately, there is still ground to dig, otherwise Wei Yan is afraid that he will be suffocated out of illness, Yangzhou is hot, and he is envious.

"Da Da Da ......"

"General Wei, Jiangxia sent a message that Sun Jun had divided his troops to return to Yangzhou." Liao Hua hurriedly walked over and hurriedly told Wei Yan the news he had just received.

"Huh? Really, how many armies have gone? Hearing the news, Wei Yan stood up and asked excitedly.

"It seems that there are a lot of them, and the news sent back is only approximate, saying that it is at least more than 60,000."

60,000, that is to say, Jiangxia now has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, so he can not fight.

Wei Yan had a smile on his face, and hurried back to the Tuntian camp, inviting everyone to discuss.

was urgently summoned, and everyone knew in their hearts that there must be something wrong with Jiangxia.

Wei Yan explained it briefly and clearly, and couldn't wait to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is the time when our army has made meritorious contributions, and the general has decided to lead the army to attack Jiangxia. ”

Since ancient times, he has been a general, thinking about how to make meritorious contributions, Wei Yan is so anxious, and no one opposes it in this situation, after all, they are ready to attack at any time.

Yan Pu, who can be the plotter, thinks more than them, and said: "Commander, the army is transferred, this land cannot be deserted, otherwise the previous hard work will not be in vain." ”

Wei Yan didn't want to reply: "Just leave this to Zhuge Liang to deal with, he should have a way." ”

"It's okay, but Zhou Yu, I'm afraid he will have a back hand, and I have not replaced the weapons, and we need to be cautious when marching."

There are Cao Cao and Sun Ce in Jingzhou, and if they want to change their clothes, it will be impossible for a while and a half, and if they are arranged according to the distance, they will not be able to take their turn for the time being.

Although Wei Yan was anxious to make meritorious contributions, he also knew that when he marched to fight, he was afraid of carelessness. "Sir, rest assured, in this final battle of reunification, Yan doesn't want to leave regrets."

"Division Commander Liao, your unit can set off, advance slowly, and if you encounter Sun's army fighting, you can stop and hold on."

"Yes."

"Commander Cai, Commander Zhang, your naval army, starting from the waterway, approaching Jiangxia, involving Zhou Yu's energy, if there is a chance, you can attack independently."

"Yes."

"Yes."
